Under the protection of the two people beside him, Zhang Ge had to watch them complete their oath, and in the end, it naturally turned into the commander of this group of carbon-like Space Marines.
To be honest, after experiencing the previous stimuli, Zhang Ge did not have that much reaction to this last step.
It was a natural conclusion.
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in the world. Otherwise... oh no, there really was, but the nearly 20,000 years of stock was used up by himself at one time, and it was also the culprit that led to the current situation.
In the smooth passing of blame, Zhang Ge pushed the responsibility to the Singularity Engine.
However, setting aside those miscellaneous thoughts, since there was no regret medicine, then Zhang Ge had to face such a question:
What to do with this Vengeful Spirit?
Go down and tell Calgar, I purified the Vengeful Spirit to the state before it was corrupted, and then I also brought up more than a hundred mortal guards and dozens of Space Marines, and while driving away Abaddon, I captured her intact?
Moreover, no one died, and even dozens of Space Marines turned into more than a hundred after the fight?
Not to mention whether Calgar could believe it, Zhang Ge himself could not hold back a little when imagining that reporting scene.
Even if he planned to explain everything to him from the beginning of getting the Singularity Engine, without hiding anything, he would encounter problems in the first stage.
How did he get into Vigil Keep?
Originally, in response to this question, Zhang Ge only needed to say that he followed the Dark Angels to fight in, and it was over. But the problem was that the event of "fighting into Vigil Keep" has also been reverted. Except for himself, the guards, and the Fallen Angels, no one remembers it.
At that time, it would become...
Calgar: You mean, you used a Valkyrie carrying twelve people to transport you, your retinue, and more than a hundred Honor Guard wearing Power Armor. After breaking through Vigil Keep's Ion Shields and outer wall armor with a single aircraft, you broke through to the deepest part of Vigil Keep, and finally snatched the intact machine from the hands of the enemy?
Zhang Ge: Um, no... it was after the fight, time reverted, and everyone except us was reverted.
Calgar: Except you?
Zhang Ge: Except us.
Calgar: You just touched it and passed the real identity verification of the "Singularity Engine," and immediately acquired the authority, and immediately learned how to use this machine from nearly 20,000 years ago, and completed the detailed operation of reverting everyone except you?
Zhang Ge: No, it was... the Machine Spirit helped me complete it.
Calgar: Then why is the Machine Spirit not responding now?
Zhang Ge: Because you don't seem to have permission either, so you can't understand it.
Calgar: Then why can't you revert something to verify your statement?
Zhang Ge: Because it's out of power.
If this kind of dialogue really happened, it would surely become a good comedy subject.
What's more, even if he really explained all of this to Calgar, and really made him completely believe it... what benefits would it have for Zhang Ge?
Being taken to Terra to visit and travel for hundreds of years, or sitting in the office to work overtime with Guilliman?
It would be better to sit on the Vengeful Spirit to find opportunities in other parts of the galaxy. At least the initiative of this option is still in his hands. If he went to Terra, according to the merits of capturing the Vengeful Spirit, the only thing that could threaten his safety would probably be a major event like the Battle of Lion's Gate that was rare in thousands of years.
Alas.
Thinking of these troublesome things, Zhang Ge once again missed himself squatting in the trenches.
The troubles related to Perveti were also a lot, and it could even be said that she was even more troublesome than the Vengeful Spirit.
Well, let's not think about it further for now.
After sorting out the basic logic, Zhang Ge returned his attention to the real world.
At present, it was still necessary to clean up the Vengeful Spirit first.
When entering her before, Zhang Ge perceived that there were still many dangerous entities hidden in various corners of this ship.
After all, for some high-level daemons who were originally inside the ship, even if they were reverted to before the Great Crusade according to the maximum estimate, it was just a sprinkle of water. What's more, it was not just them.
Most of the Great Crusade veterans who had merged with daemons were re-parasitized by the daemons who were separated from the body after the Reversion. A few survivors also quickly fell into mental breakdown or other states. There were also situations such as ten thousand years of profane vehicles and Daemon Engines.
Situations like these, although not very many, would be too troublesome to clean up with the Vengeful Spirit's automatic defense mechanism alone, and some human intervention was needed.
However, Zhang Ge himself did not intend to carry out this task. Because the Greater Daemon's corpse was cremated, he had the person who was first stabbed by Ascalon lead the team, leading nearly a hundred of them... what should they be called?
They might still be exposed to the sight of others later, so a battle group name had to be created... Let's call them the Oathbreakers.
There was no special meaning. It was purely just that Zhang Ge looked at the scene of their oath, and then combined it with their status as sinners, and pieced them together. Anyway, it was just a name, and it shouldn't be very important to them.
Nearly a hundred Oathbreakers, they would join the Fallen Angels and mortal guards, and then launch a cleanup operation with the assistance of the Vengeful Spirit.
Of course, it was not that Zhang Ge didn't want to go, but that he had other more important things.
Prison Cells.
This word should have been extremely unfamiliar to the elites of the Imperium. However, considering that this was the Vengeful Spirit, the situation was completely reversed.
In cell after cell deep within the Vengeful Spirit, countless prisoners from all over the galaxy, and even from all over the Warp, were imprisoned. From loyalist Space Marine veterans captured during the Great Heresy to Eldar aliens who had been tortured for ten thousand years, all kinds of creatures were arranged among them. Even though many had disappeared directly due to the Reversion, the remaining part was still a considerable number.
Although it was doubtful how many people could remain mentally normal after ten thousand years of imprisonment, even if they had really lost consciousness... It was not very good to just leave a part of them in there.
With this thought in mind, after communicating with the Fallen Angels through the vox network, and the Oathbreakers had also all left, Zhang Ge, Amilia, and Perveti set off together, and began to advance towards the bottom areas of the ship through the bridge's elevator.
In the operating mechanical sounds, although other sounds from the outside disappeared as they gradually went deeper, it seemed a little isolated and cold, but fortunately the lighting was always sufficient, so it would not be as depressing as being in the Underhive.
Finally, after a muffled touch-the-bottom buffering sound, the opening and closing doors of the elevator slowly opened to both sides, revealing the external environment to Zhang Ge and his party.
